openCartoon with emotional cloud Western Animation
I remember seeing a clip from a show in which a character, who was a cloud, was upset and rain started pouring from her to represent crying. When she got angry, she turned into a storm cloud. It's unlikely to be Masami Yoshida, as I watched a few clips and didn't ring a bell. It's also not Cloudy Jay, as the cloud was a regular floating cloud.
openRefusing to believe the prankster really died. Western Animation
Looking for an episode of a cartoon show where a character’s elderly friend died, but she firmly believes it’s another prank he’s pulling. After his funeral, she asks why he didn’t show up. Then she’s given a box filled with his personal effects, which is what finally convinces her that he’s really dead.
Edited by CSS1openCartoon ends with with gunfight in the dark. Western Animation
A comedy cartoon, might be Warner Brothers. Main character is a slow and dopey hero. The conflict culminates in a duel (First floor of an inn? A tavern?) where the lights turn off and a terrific and elaborate exchange of colorful lights takes place before one distinctly shoots the other.
Lights turn on and the hero's girlfriend thinks he's dead but then it turns out he's not.
openPINK haired girl with brain? Western Animation
I vaguely remember an animated show with a pink haired girl who had a ‘pet’ brain, not certain on air time, probably 2005-2009 period, on cbbc or citv. in most episodes the villager people would come after the brain claiming it did something. I keep trying to remember it but all i can think of is ‘Pinky and the brain’, which i know it is not as i searched it and have never seen an episode, however i know the theme song off by heart. Meaning what im describing may be a remade/spin off version. Possibly not.
The animation style is difficult to remember but is most likely western and flat layered. Not anime or 3D animation.
Any idea about this show is VERY APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance ^-^ (Any questions just ask)
Edited by SpuriousRangiferineopenLooney Tunes Orchestra Gazebo Western Animation
Hey, I'm looking for a show that a friend of my mom remembers🙂. From what she told me, there was Bugs Bunny, an orchestra of animals, and it all took place in a gazebo of some kind🤔. Maybe she might be remembering things wrong🤔, but I kinda wanna find that thing she was looking for🙂. Anyone have a clue on what it might be?🙂
openpost-apocalyptic CGI short animation that traumatised me as a child (SOLVED!) Western Animation
We saw this short film in class and were going to write an essay on it, and I honestly can't believe they showed it to kids. I'm quite certain it is on a website called 'Literacy shed', but I haven't found it yet. I only remember sparce details about what was actually in it. I remember there was this young girl with a prosthetic leg with her caregiver, and they were in a small cramped space after coming back from a sandy wasteland wearing gas masks. At some point the girl leaves and comes across a playground where she has a vision that there are loads of other kids there, the world becomes brighter and there is a visual of her leg magically healing. She takes off her gas mask. All I remember after that is it pans to her being found by her caregiver in the wasteland playground with her mask off and her being dead, and that's how it ends. It traumatised the f*ck out of me.
Main details like I said is it is likely somewhere on Literacy shed (although it may have been removed in the present), it is a short CGI-animated film that we had to talk about in class for some reason. Any ideas?
Edited by EllipsicleopenEducational Short With Sheep Western Animation
There's an educational short film that I once watched at a shopping mall as a kid. At one point, the sheep who was narrating it said that the moon doesn't have the resources needed to live. At the very end, he somehow ended up on the moon and asked for help. Someone extended a ladder to the moon, but he decided to jump instead.
open[SOLVED] Indian Version of Tom And Jerry Western Animation
I remember there being an Indian version of Tom and Jerry but with certain key differences that separated it from a direct Copy Cat. In the show, instead of a fight between a cat and a mouse, it was between two dogs and three mice. One of the dogs was beige/orange and the other was green. The show was in Hindi and was pretty popular back in The New '10s. Sometimes, a third military dog would appear who was either a dead father or grandfather of the two dogs. I am unsure if the Anglo-centric editor majority here can help but if anyone's got any clues, thank you in advance.
Edited by PiotrHeatopenOld Animated Short Western Animation
For a friend: “there was also a cartoon short that DEVESTATED me and ive never been able to find it since. It was about a little boy who used a cardboard paper towel tube as a telescope and hed look at the stars, and imagine it was a real telescope, then one day his father brought him home a really HUGE shipping tube and he was imagining himself as an astronomer with an obsevatory etc and how close the stars were. then he dropped it out the window of their apartment building and it landed in the street below and a truck ran over it. and it ended with him looking thru his old cardboard tube again and smiling iirc”
Might be a 321 contact or a Sesame Street short from the 70s or 80s or something.
openCrocdiles Teach Lessons Western Animation
The show takes place in the swamp where a boy is friends with a family of crocodiles.
The one episode I remember is them teaching the viewers how to brush your teeth.
openEarly/Mid-2000s short-series Western Animation
It was this series of shorts that aired in the 2000s, I think on Cartoon Network and maybe between full-length shows; - It was this really grungy-looking, all-CGI thing, kinda bearing resemblance to Chop Socky Chooks but with a bleaker, dirtier look. - Every episode, two of six-or-eight characters would be pit against each other. There was no dialogue, the characters looked monster-like, and they often fell apart. - I only remember one episode; two of the characters had this staring contest instead of a proper fight, and it showed this really quick montage of them aging before fading to their graves. Thanks in advance.
openanimesque monster-fighting show i think? Western Animation
okay this has been killing me for a while. it's a western animesque show (maybe french canadian?), but literally the only thing i can remember is a single part of an episode. there's some monster the main characters are fighting, and one of their friends who's trying to help throws a jar full of these purple fried-egg-looking-things and loudly refers to them as "the purple goo," but it's the wrong stuff and only makes the monster stronger. this vague memory has been haunting me for so long, save me
open2d cartoon??? Help! Western Animation
I remember seeing this cartoon. It starred this girl and her pet cat. They ride in a limo. I saw an episode about mummies and Egypt and stuff. The girl was definitely POC. I think the cat was blue. I only saw a little bit of it, but then the channel was changed. What cartoon is this?
openBug zapper Western Animation
From an animated program, not sure if Western or Anime: A bunch of characters are trekking through the dense jungle. They are annoyed by swarms of bugs, but press on. One of the characters, who had magic powers or energy powers or something of the like, snaps their fingers or does a similar gesture, and all the bugs around them briefly flash as they are hit with energy, before falling to the ground, dead.
openChristian music TV show with a group of animated monster characters Western Animation
I remember years back I was flipping through channels and I stumbled across a Christian TV network playing this strange cartoon that starred these monster or ogre-like characters. I remember that, when I tuned in, a segment was ending, and the final joke of that segment was that one of them brought a bag of marshmallows, except it had some funny pun-based name (IIRC it might have been "smarshmallows"). In between the segments was live-action CCM music videos.
Does anybody might know what I am talking about?
openseries about three children who go to an arcade Western Animation
I just remember that it is an animated series about 3 children who go to class. In one episode they go to some arcades and since the boy is the best of all, his classmates keep asking him for advice. This distracts him from getting a game registration and that's why he decides to make a website with tutorials and tips. They promote it but the friend at first gets the name wrong and they keep interrupting him.
I only remember this episode. Arcade games were related to green slime.The serie was between 2000-2010. If you can help me with the name of this series I would greatly appreciate it.
Edited by asqwert17openOld CGI Cartoon About Robots that turn into diving gear. Western Animation
This is driving me crazy and i am starting to think i imagined this one. But it's an old CGI Cartoon where a bunch of kids explore the ocean by having pet robots turn into diving gear, which also gives them super weapons to fight against some evil guy with a punk hair cut.
It's also a big adventure with continuity and quasi-constant progression, The characters were: a cocky boy who could shoot cyclones from his chest, a reasonable that had some stun powers, her little brother who has submarine that he later turns into a robot, and a wannabe reporter girl that's never part of the action.
I remember watching it in french on teletoon, i can't pin point the year since i was really young.
Pretty sure it had at least two seasons, with the second one introducing an incompétent pirate.
If someone can find me this show I’ll actually be so happy, not knowing what it is keeps me up some nights. I remember very little about it
3d animated Main character might’ve had pink hair and space buns She had a small companion The villain of the show were white haired twins I remember a gong being at the main characters house or something so possibly china themes, as well as a bamboo forest being where she lives
